Grammys community was glad to see an immigrant Indian woman win: Falguni

The 2022 Grammys on Monday were quite eventful for Falguni Shah aka Falu, who performed the opening number at the Grammys Premiere ceremony, and won the award for the Best Children's Album (for A Colorful World) later on the same day.

“It still hasn't quite sunk in,” the artiste - who was one of the two Indians to win the Grammy Award that evening (the second being Ricky Kej, who won in the Best New Album category) - told us a day after winning the award. She continued, “I haven't got time yet to see my social media, but the number (of followers) has gone up massively."

Falguni, who also received congratulatory message from PM Narendra Modi on social media, said that "it's something I could have never imagined. I feel proud to be an Indian who comes from a very simple, traditional family, but worked hard to follow her dreams and passions. To be acknowledged at the Grammys is the hope and dream of every artiste and I feel honoured that I am getting to live this dream."
